Stand
Stand is a call to really live. To live out your Christian life – standing on the truth of who God is and who you are in him. Standing on the reality of what he’s done. Standing firm in battle. Standing up for others and being prepared to stand out. In the steps of Mere Christianity and The Fight, Karl Martin re-tells and re-frames God’s ancient call to discipleship and witness for a new generation, keeping Jesus firmly at the centre.
‘Unapologetic and defiant - an ancient, urgent call to Christian discipleship.’
Pete Greig, 24-7 Prayer
“Karl Martin’s passion for Jesus Christ is infectious. He has built up one of Britain’s most exciting and innovative churches through prayer, vision, determination and a longing for more people to experience the love of God for themselves.”
Nicky Gumbel
“We need voices that proclaim in a non-preachy and helpful manner what a person of God looks like and how to become one. Therein lies power to exceed normal. I’m thankful that this book gives access to that power that all of us long for.”
Brian Tome
“Karl Martin lives what he believes. He is also a brilliant communicator. In this practical and engaging book Karl gives us a glimpse of the radical Christian life, and a taste for living it to the full.”
Amy Orr-Ewing
“A rare combination: both profoundly rooted in Scripture and completely drenched in real life experience.”

Overall, it was clearly and succinctly and excellently written, and meant for people like me still churning through faith and turned off by hundreds of pages of presumptuous philosophy. The parts that resonated (ie: chapter on pride...) really resonated. The only places this book didn't measure up to what I wanted from it personally were when the examples were straight from Central's ministry, because I'm not a church leader looking for new advice. I'm still just a churchgoer trying to be a better Christian.
